Hebrews 11:23-28
English Standard Version
23 By faith (A)Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of (B)the king's edict. 24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, (C)refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, 25 (D)choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy (E)the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 (F)He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to (G)the reward. 27 By faith he (H)left Egypt, (I)not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured (J)as seeing him who is invisible. 28 By faith (K)he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.

Hebrews 11:23-28
International Standard Version
23 By faith Moses was hidden by his parents for three months after he was born, because they saw that he was a beautiful child and were not afraid of the king’s order.
24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called a son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 because he preferred being mistreated with God’s people to enjoying the pleasures of sin for a short time. 26 He thought that being insulted for the sake of the Messiah[a] was of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.
27 By faith he left Egypt, without being afraid of the king’s anger, and he persevered because he saw the one who is invisible.
28 By faith he established the Passover and the sprinkling of blood to keep the destroyer of the firstborn from touching the people.[b]
